The invention relates to an electrically driven device comprising a housing (4, 5), an electric motor (1) with a drive shaft (2) having a first rotary axis (I) and a drive pin (3) connected to the drive shaft (2) eccentrically with respect to the rotary axis (I), and a driven shaft (12) mounted in the housing (4, 5) for performing a pivoting. The driven shaft (12) is indirectly coupled to the drive shaft (2) by means of a gear mechanism converting a rotary motion of the drive shaft (2) into a reciprocating pivoting motion of the driven shaft (12). The gear mechanism comprises one intermediate shaft (9, 17, 20) having a second rotary axis (II) extending in the longitudinal direction of the intermediate shaft (9, 17, 20) and at least one crank arm (6, 8, 16) coupled to the drive pin (3). The crank arm (6, 8, 16) is pivotably mounted in the housing (4, 5) and is coupled to the intermediate shaft (9, 17, 20) thereby converting a rotary motion of the drive shaft (2) into a reciprocating pivoting of the intermediate shaft (9, 17, 20) about the second rotary axis (II). The intermediate shaft (9, 17, 20) is coupled to the at least one driven shaft (12) by means of a pivotable bridge (10) such that the intermediate shaft (9, 17, 20) is offset with respect to the at least one driven shaft (12).
